title: Characterization of nucleotidic sequences using maximum entropy techniques.
abstract: A statistical method for characterizing nucleotidic sequences based on maximum entropy techniques is presented. The method uses only codon usage tables and takes into account the length of sequences, and preserves the information contained in each codon by a punctual index. We present the methodological aspects of the analysis, showing an application relative to nucleotidic sequences of eukaryotes.
